A post shared by Twitter user has reignited concerns over employee retention at Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). A Twitter user called Varunaram Ganesh recently shared a screenshot of an employee announcing their departure from xAI just six months after joining. In the post shared the employee claimed that the company’s attrition rate “seems to be at least 50%” within the year.

The post shared on X gained a lot of traction and another user called @satyanutella also shared Ganesh’s post and wrote, “My point was: You are no longer attracting “top talent.” Everyone knows that the best AI researchers are not at xAI.
